20 years of freelancing for licensed IPs has been grand, but there comes a time when I want to make something I can call "mine." Where I set the rules, vision & direction.
THAT is #Drogune: Fortune's Lap. A chance to create for creation's sake. Give it a look, won't you?

There's always going to be bad news and suffering happening somewhere at any given time. It's not insensitive to find joy and distractions in your own life. This is what we're fighting for after all, that we can all be safe and happy. So don't waste those opportunities to enjoy life when you can.
if you feel guilt about creating non-activist/political work right now remember that you MUST balance out being informed with keeping your sanity. do your best to help but do not let it consume you to the point where all you do is doomscroll. maintaining your joy is part of the long game.

Hey #gamedev, wanted to share an updated trailer for our couch co-op action RPG. Lots of polish went into this last year! We'll be doing playtests later this week.

New on the Ponett Gazette: I use 2025's two most popular GOTY contenders (Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 and Silksong) as a springboard to ramble about various bits of indie dev discourse and the stressful state of the creative field I work in, and also the fact that The Game Awards are a joke.

David Lynch passed a year ago today. I hope we all can absorb just a little bit of the energy he put out in his lifetime.

i was gonna save this thought for a potential essay or something, but the idea of "keep making shit in spite of it all" really shined through in unbeatable, for me. it said that alongside other narrative games about persistence in the face of seemingly insurmountable forces of resistance
